Calm Before the Storm’s Fig Japanese Lyrics English Meaning
The narrator recalls ‘the taste of that bitter fruit,’ symbolizing a love that was both incomplete and perfect. The poet describes a dance of memories, trying to make sense of what was lost. The sunrise-stained tears and the quiet fading of fate add layers of heartbreak to the story.
Ano koro no you ni furete itai noniI want to touch you just like I did back then,
Donna ni nozomou to mou todokanai mitaibut no matter how much I want it, I can’t reach you anymore.
Mou ichido kimi to au shunkan made waUntil the very moment I’m able to see you again,
Eranda kono jinsei othe life that I’ve chosen for myself,
Ukeeireyou to shite kitaI’ve been trying my best to accept it all.
Natsukashii kimi no subete ga boku o mitashiteEverything about you feels so nostalgic, filling me up,
Omoidasu nigai kajitsuas I remember the taste of that bitter fruit.
Mikansei de kanpeki datta futari niWe were so incomplete, yet we were perfect together.
Kanau nara modoritai yoIf it were possible, I’d give anything to go back.
Asayake ni somaru kimi no namida o oboete iruI still remember your tears, stained by the colors of the sunrise.
Bokura wa subete te ni ireta hazu nanoniWe were supposed to have everything we ever wanted,
Saigo ni wa arigatou dake gabut in the end, a simple ‘thank you’ was all that remained.
Soko ni atta neThat’s all that was there, wasn’t it?
Kimi kara nigedashita ano hi o saigo niAfter that day I ran away from you for the last time,
Nani o shite iyou to hibi wa karappo nimy days have felt empty, no matter what I’m doing.
Mou sukoshi chanto mukiaete irebaIf only I’d faced you with a bit more honesty…
Kono mune o shimetsuke moEven if this tightness in my chest remained,
Sukoshi wa raku ni nareta nomaybe I could’ve found a little peace.
Natsukashii wadai de kimi no egao o sasouI try to make you smile by bringing up old memories,
Chiisakute munashii dansuin this small and empty dance we’re sharing.
Shizuka ni kiete itta unmei oI want to try one more time to reach for the fate,
Mou ichido tameshitai yothat quietly faded away between us.
Ano mama futariI wonder if the two of us could’ve kept living,
Ikite iku koto mo dekita kanajust the way we were back then.
Dokoka de kimi ni motto fusawashii hito gaI realized that somewhere out there, a person
Matteru to kizuita ndawho’s much better suited for you is waiting.
Jaa ai tte nan darouSo then, I have to ask, what exactly is love?
The meaning behind ‘Fig’ is the struggle to accept lost love. ame_no_parade’s song, in Japanese, offers a heartfelt reflection on what it means to let go.
